With the growing demand for mobile phones, more and more multinationals entered the mobile phone market and launched various models that were affordable and immensely usable. LG, an electronics giant was in the mobile market for a long time and finally hit the nail on the head with the LG cookie. The LG Cookie was one of the first low-priced touch phones that generated excitement in the market. Here is a brief review of LG Cookie
The most unique point that the LG Cooke offered was a touchscreen phone on a budget. The mobile was a general candy-shaped phone that was slimmer than many other phones available at the time. Because it had a touchscreen mode, it was able to offer a large screen as well as a QWERTY keyboard for those who wanted to use it.
The phone also supports Bluetooth, mobile Internet, and has music playback capabilities, along with a radio player. One also had some preloaded games that were basically aimed at making the user use the touchscreen UI to its fullest. The phone also had a 3.2 megapixel camera, but it was nothing to write home about. The camera had no flash.
The phone had good voice clarity and was quite easy to carry around, given its slim and stylish features. It could be easily put in the top pocket and forget about it. One drawback, however, was that the key lock button could easily be pressed by mistake, which would have disastrous results if not controlled at the right time.
While the phone was highly anticipated and sold a lot of parts, there were some downsides that kept the phone from becoming a huge hit. One of the main reasons was that Samsung introduced the Samsung Corby Touch around the same time, which was a superior product. The LG also suffered from a touch screen that generally lagged behind and wasn’t up to scratch. Also, LG Cookie did not allow YouTube streaming, which was one of the main essential features offered by other phones in its price range.
